PREFACE. 


In  this  revision  of  the  Elementary  Spelling-Book,  the  chief 
object  aimed  at  is  to  bring  its  notation  into  a  correspondence 
with  that  of  the  recently  issued  Quarto  Dictionary  in  which  a 
more  extended  system  of  orthoepical  marks  has  been  adopted 
for  the  purpose  of  exhibiting  the  nicer  discriminations  of 
vowel  sounds.  A  few  of  the  Tables,  however,  and  a  few  single 
columns  of  words  are  left  Without  diacritical  signs  as  exercises 
in  notation,  a  familiarity  witli  which  is  important  to  all  who 
consult  the  dictionary.  A  little  attention  to  the  Key  to  the 
Soutah  of  the  merited  Letters  will  aid  both  teacher  and  pupil  in 
this  interesting  exercise.  As  it  has  been  found  inconvenient  to 
insert  the  whole  Key  at  the  top  of  the  page,  as  heretofore, 
frequent  reference  to  the  full  explanation  of  the  pointed  letters 
on  page  15  may  be  desirable. 

In  Syllabication  it  has  been  thought  best  not  to  give  the 
etymological  division  of  the  Quarto  Dictionary,  but  to  retain 
the  old  mode  of  Dr.  Webster  as  best  calculated  to  teach  young 
scholars  the  true  pronunciation  of  words. 

The  plan  of  classification  here  executed  is  extended  so  as  to 
comprehend  every  important  variety  of  English  words,  and  the 
classes  are  so  arranged,  with  suitable  directions  for  the  pro- 
nunciation, that  any  pupil,  who  shall  be  master  of  these  Ele- 
mentary TaUes,  will  find  little  difficulty  in  learning  to  form 
and  pronounce  any  words  that  properly  belong  to  our  ver- 
nacular language.   £"  


6  PREFACE 


1 


The  Tables  intended  for  Exercises  in  Spelling  and  forming 
words,  contain  the  original  words,  with  the  terminations  only 
of  their  derivatives.  These  Tables  will  answer  the  important 
purposes  of  teaching  the  manner  of  forming  the  various  deriv- 
atives, and  the  distinctions  of  the  parts  of  speech,  and  thus 
anticipate,  in  some  degree,  the  knowledge  of  grammar ;  at  the 
same  time,  they  bring  into  a  small  compass  a  much  greater 
number  of  words  than  could  be  otherwise  comprised  in  so 
small  a  book. 

The  pronunciation  here  given  is  that  which  is  sanctioned 
by  the  most  general  usage  of  educated  people,  both  in  the 
United  States  and  in  England.  There  are  a  few  words  in  both 
countries  whose  pronunciation  is  not  settled  beyond  dispute. 
In  cases  of  this  kind,  the  Editor  has  leaned  to  regular  analogies 
as  furnishing  the  best  rule  of  decision. 

In  orthography  there  are  some  classes  of  words  in  which 
usage  is  not  uniform.  No  two  English  writers  agree  on  this 
subject ;  and  what  is  worse,  no  lexicographer  is  consistent  with 
himself,  In  this  book,  as  in  Dr.  "Webster's  dictionaries,  that 
mode  of  spelling  has  been  adopted  which  is  the  most  simple 
and  best  authorized.  The  Editor  has  followed  the  rules  that 
are  held  to  be  legitimate,  and  has  rendered  uniform  all  classes 
of  words  falling  within  them.  If  established  rules  and  anal- 
ogies will  not  control  the  practice  of  writers,  there  is  no  au- 
thority by  which  uniformity  can  be  produced. 

The  reading  lessons  are  adapted,  as  far  as  possible,  to  the 
capacities  of  children,  and  to  their  gradual  progress  in  knowl- 
edge. These  lessons  will  serve  to  substitute  variety  for  the 
dull  monotony  of  spelling,  show  the  practical  use  of  words  in 
significant  sentences,  and  thus  enable  the  learner  the  better  to 
understand  them.      The   consideration  -Of   diversifying    the 


PREFACE 


studies  of  the  pupil  has  also  had  its  influence  in  the  arrange- 
ment of  the  lessons  for  spelling.  It  is  useful  to  teach  children 
the  signification  of  words,  as  soon  as  they  can  comprehend 
them ;  hut  the  understanding  can  hardly  keep  pace  with  the 
memory^  and  the  minds  of  children  may  well  be  employed  in 
learning  to  spell  and  pronounce  words  whose  signification  is 
not  within  the  reach  of  their  capacities;  for  what  they  do 
not  clearly  comprehend  at  first,  they  will  understand  as  their 
capacities  are  enlarged. 

The  objects  of  a  work  of  this  kind  being  chiefly  to  teach 
orthography  and  pronunciation,  it  is  judged  most  proper  to 
adapt  the  various  Tables  to  these  specific  objects,  and  omit 
extraneous  matter,  In  short,  this  little  book  is  so  constructed 
as  to  condense  into  the  smallest  compass  a  complete  System 
of  Elements  for  teaching  the  language ;  and  however  small 
such  a  book  may  appear,  it  may  be  considered  as  the  most  im- 
portant class-book,  not  of  a  religious  character,  which  the 
youth  of  our  country  are  destined  to  use. 

The  modifications  in  this  revision,  although  important,  are 
not  of  a  character  to  embarrass  those  teachers  who  use  the  old 
editions  in  the  same  classes,  very  few  words  having  been  sub- 
stituted for  others,  and  those  only  to  correct  an  obvious  error, 
or  to  carry  out  some  important  analogy. 

In  the  revision  of  this  work,  the  Editor  has  availed  himself 
of  the  suggestions  of  experienced  teachers  and  others  com- 
petent to  advise,  and  especially  of  Wm.  A.  Wkeelsr.,  Esq., 
whose  Principles  op  Pronunciation  add  so  much  value  to 
the  new  Illustrated  Quarto  Dictionary  of  Dr,  "Webster, 

W.  O-  W

|8  _  THE    ELEMENTARY 

ANALYSIS    OF    SOUNDS 

IJST    THE    ENGLISH    LANGUAGE 

Language,  or  Speech,  is  the  utterance  of  articulate 
sounds,  rendered  significant  by  usage,  for  the  expres- 
sion and  communication  of  thoughts. 

Articulate  sounds  are  those  which  are  formed  by 
opening  and  closing  the  organs.  The  closing  or  ap- 
proximation of  the  organs  is  an  articulation  or  joint- 
ing, as  in  eb,  ed,  et.  The  articulations  are  represented 
by  the  letters  called  consonants.  The  sounds  made 
with  the  organs  open,  are  called  vowels,  as  a,  e,  o.  A. 
union  of  two  simple  vowel  sounds  is  called  a  diphthong  , 
as  ou  in  out,  oi  in  noise. 

Sounds  constitute  the  spoken  language,  addressed  to 
the  ear ;  letters  or  characters,  representing  sounds,  con- 
stitute written  language,  which  is  presented  to  the  eye. 
The  letters  of  a  language,  arranged  in  a  certain  or- 
der, compose  what  is  called  an  Alphabet. 

The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty-six -letters. 
or  single  characters— a,  b,  c,  d,  e,  f,  g,  h,  i,  j,  k,  I,  m, 
g  o,  p,  q,  r,  s,  t,  -u,  v,  w,  x,  y,  z.  The  combinations 
ch,  sh,  th,  and  ng  are  also  used  to  represent  distinct 
sounds ;  and  another  sound  is  'expressed  by  si,  or  z  ; 
as,  in  brasier,  azure,  pronounced  bra'zher,  dzh'ur. 

Of  the^  foregoing  letters,  a,  e,  o,  are  always  simple 
vowels ;  i  and  u  are  vowels  (as  in  in,  us),  or  diph- 
thongs (as  in  time,  time) ;  and  y  is  either  a  vowel  (as 
in  any),  a  diphthong  (as  in  my),  or  a  consonant  (as  in  ye). 
Each  of  the  vowels  has  its  regular  long  and  short 
sounds  which  are  most  used ;  and  also  certain  occasional 
sounds  which  occur  more  rarely,  as  that  of  a  in  last, 
far,  pre,  fall,  what;  e  in  term,  there,  prey;  i  in  firm, 
marine;^  o  in  dove,  for,  wolf,  prove;  and  u  in  furl,  rude 
and  pull     These  will  now  be  considered  separately. 

A,  The  regular  long  sound  of  a  is  denoted  by  a  hori- 
zontal mark  over  it ;  as.  an'  eient,  pro-f" 
regular  short  sound  by  a  curve  over 


denoted  by  a  hori-  I 
Dro-fane' ;  and  the  I

tn  certain  words  like  care,  fair,  &c,  is  represented  by" 
I  sharp  or  pointed  circumflex  over  the  a,  as,  care,  hair, 
fair,  &c. 

E.  The  regular  long  sound  of  e  is  indicated  by  a 
horizontal  mark  over  it ;  as;  mete,  se-rene';  the  regular 
short  sound,  by  a  carve  over  it ;  as,  met,  re-bel'. 
I  Occasional  sounds. — The  sound  of  e  like  a  in  care  is 
indicated  by  a  pointed  circumflex  over  the  e,  as  in 
their,  where ;  and  of  short  e  before  r  in  cases  where  it 
verges  toward  short  u,  by  a  rounded  circumflex,  or 
wavy  line,  over  it ;  as,  her,  pre-fer'. 
[  I,  0,  U.  The  regular  long  and  short  sounds  of  i,  o, 
and  u  are  indicated  like  those  of  a  and  e  by  a  hori- 
zontal mjH'k  or  a  curve ;  as,  bind,  bin ;  dole,  doll ; 
tune,  tun. 

Occasional  sounds. — When  i  has  the  sound  of  long  e 
it  is  marked  by  two  dots  over  it;  as,  fa-tigue',  nia- 
iiine' ; — when  o  has  the  sound  of  short  u,  it  is  marked 
hj  a  single  dot  over  it ;  as,  dove,  son  ; — when  it  has 
the  sound  of  do,  it  is  marked  with  two  dots  under  it ; 
as,  move,  prove ; — when  it  has  the  sound  of  oo,  it  is 
marked  with  a  single  dot  under  it ;  as,  wolf,  wolsey ; — 
when  it  has  the  sound  of  broad  a,  this  is  indicated  by 
a  pointed  circumflex  over  the  vowel ;  as,  north,  sort ; 
■ — the  two  letters  oo,  with  a  horizontal  mark  over  them, 
have  the  sound  heard  in  the-words  boom,  loom  ; — with 
a  curve  mark,  they  have  a  shorter  form  of  the  same 
sound ;  as,  book,  good  ; — when  u  is  sounded  like  short 
oo }  it  has  a  single  dot  under  it ;  as,  full,  pull ;  while 
its  lengthened  sound,  as  when  preceded  by  ?",  is  indi- 
cated by  two  dots ;  as  in  rude,  m'ral,  rub'y. 

I  Note. — The  long  u  in  unaccented  syllables  lias,  to  a  great 
""extent,  the  sound  of  short  oo,  preceded  by  y,  as  in  educate,  pro- 
nounced ed'ydb-kute ;  nature,  pronounced  nat'yoor. 


10  THE    ELEMENTARY 


The  long  sound  of  a  in  late,  when  shortened,  coincides  nearly 
with  that  of  e  in  let;  as,  adequate,  disconsolate,  inveterate. 

The  long  e,  when  shortened,  coincides  nearly  with  the  short 
i  mpit;  as,  in  feet,  Jit.  This  short  sound  of  i  is  that  of  y  un- 
accented, at  the  end  of*  words  ;  as,  in  glory. 

The  short  sound  of  broad  a  in  hall,  is  that  of  the  short  o  in 
holly,  and  of  a  in  what. 

The  short  sound  of  oo  in  pool,  is  that  of  u  in  pull,  and  oo  in 
wool. 

The  short  sound  of  o  in  not,  is  somewhat  lengthened  before 
s,  th,  and  ng ;  as  in  cross,  T/roth,  belong. 

A  combination  of  two  letters  used  to  express  a  single  sound- 
is  called  a  digraph ;  as,  ea  in  head,  or  th  in  oath. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  oi  and  oy  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  as,  in  join,  joy. 

The  j3ronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  ou  and  ow  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  as,  in  sound,  now.  But  in  the  termination  ous, 
ou  is  not  a  diphthong^  and  the  pronunciation  is  us;  as,  in 
pious,  glorious. 

The  digraphs  ai  and  ay,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  and  in  ac- 
cented syllables,  have  the  sound  of  a  long.  In  the  unaccented 
syllables  of  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  a  is  nearly  or  quite  lost ; 
as,  in  certain,  curtain.  The  digraphs  au  and  aio,  have  the  sound 
of  broad  a,  as  in  fall;  ew,  that  of  u  long,  as  in  new  ;  and  ey,  in 
unaccented  syllables,  that  of  y  short,  as  in  valley. 

When  one  vowel  of  a  digraph  is  marked,  the  other  has  no 
sound ;  as,  in  court,  road,  slow. 

The  digraphs  ea,  ee,  ei,  ie,  when  not  marked,  have,  in  this 
work,  the  sound  of  e  long ;  as,  in  near,  meet,  seize,  grieve.  The 
vowels  in  Section  143  are  exceptions. 

The  digraph  oa,  unless  marked,  has  the  sound  of  o  long. 

Vowels,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  followed  by  a  single  con- 
sonant and  e  final,  are  long  ;  as,  in  fate,  mete,  mite,  note,  mute, 
unless  marked,  as  in  dove,  give. 

The  articulations  or  sounds  represented  by  the  consonants 
are  best  apprehended  by  placing  a  vowel  before  them  in  pro- 
nunciation, and  prolonging  the  second  of  the  two  elements  \ 
thus,  eb,  ed,  ef,  eg,  ek,  el,  em,  en,  ep,  er,  es,  et,  ev,  ez. 

Those  articulations  which  wholly  stop  the  passage  of  the 
breath  from  the  mouth,  are  cgjlied  close,  or  mute,  as  b,  d,  g,  k, 
p,t.  f 

Those  articulations  which  are  formed  either  wholly  or  in 
part  by  the  lips,  are  called  labials;  as,  b,  f,  m,  p,  v. 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  tip  of  the  tongue  and  the 
teeth,  or  the  gum  covering  the  roots  of  the  teeth,  are  called 
dentals ;  as,  d,  t,  th,  (as  in  thin,  this). 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  flat  surface  of  the  tengue  and 
the  palate,  are  called  palatals ;  as,  g,  k,  ng,  sh. 

The  letters  s  and  z  are  called  also  sibilants,  or  hissing  letters.

W  (as  in  we)  and  y  (as  in  ye)  are  sometimes  called  semi-vowels, 
as  being  intermediate  between  vowels  and  consonants,  or  par- 
taking of  the  nature  of  both. 

B  and  j.?  represent  one  and  the  same  articulation,  or  jointing 
of  the  lips  ;  but  <p  differs  from  b  in  being  an  utterance  of  the 
breath  instead  of  the  voice. 

D  and  t  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  which  is  a 
pressure  of  the  tongue  againfet  the  gum  at  the  root  of  the  upper 
front  teeth ;  but  t  stands  for  a  whispered,  and  d  for  a  spoken 
sound. 

F  and  v  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  the  upper 
teeth  placed  on  the  under  lip  ;  but/ indicates  an  expulsion  of 
voiceless  breath ;  v,  of  vocalized  breath,  or  tone. 

Th  in  thin  and  in  this  represent  one  and  the  same/articula- 
tion ;  the  former  with  breath ;  the  latter  with  voice. 

8  and  z  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation ;  s  being  a 
hissing  or  whispered  sound,  and  z  a  buzzing  or  vocal  sound. 

Sh  and  zli  have  the  same  distinction  as  s  and  z,  whispered 
and  vocal ;  but  zh  not  occurring  in  English  words,  the.  sound 
is  represented  by  si  or  by  other  letters ;  as,  infusion,  osier,  azure. 

Ng  represent  the  articulation  of  the  body  of  the  tongue 
with  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  and  indicate  a  nasal  sound,  which 
is  much  shortened,  if  followed  by  the  sound  of  h  in  the  same 
syllable  ;  as  in  lank. 

B  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  bite.  After  m,  or  before  t,  it  is 
generally  mute  ;  as  in  dumb,  doubt. 

C  has  the  sound  of  ~k  before  a,  o,  and  u,  as  in  cat,  cot,  cup ; 
and  of  s  before  e,  i,  and  y,  as  in  cell,  cit,  cycle.  It  may  be  con- 
sidered as  mute  before  Tc  ;  as,  in  sick,  thick.  C,  when  followed 
by  e  or  i  before  another  vowel,  unites  with  e  or  i  to  form  the 
sound  of  sit.  Thus,  cetacmus,  gracious,  conscience,  are  pronounced 
ce-ta' situs,  gra' situs,  con' sltense. 

D  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  day,  bid;  when  followed  in  the 
same  syllable  by  a  whispered  or  voiceless  consonant,  it  uni- 
formly takes  the  sound  of  t,  as  in  hissed  (hist). 

F  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  life,  fever,  except  in  of,  in  wThich 
it  has  the  sound  of  v. 

G  before  a,  o,  and  u,  is  a  close  palatal  articulation ;  as,  in 
gave,  go,  gun;  before  e,  i,  and  y,  it  sometimes  represents  the 
same  articulation,  but  generally  indicates  a  compound  sound, 
like  that  of  j  ;  as  in  gem,  gin,  gyves.  Before  n  in  the  same  syl- 
lable it  is  silent ;  as,  in  gnaio.     - 

H  is  a  mark  of  mere  breathing  or  aspiration.  After  r  it  has 
no  sound  ;  as,  in  rhetoric. 

I  in  certain  words  has  the  use  of  y  consonant ;  as,  in  million, 
pronounced  mill'yim.  Before  r  it  has  a  sound  nearly  resembling 
that  of  short  u,  but  more  open  ;  as,  in  bird,  flirt. 

J  represents  a  compound  sound,  pretty  nearly  equivalent  to 
that  represented  by  dzh;  as,  in  joy. 


12  THE     ELEMENTARY 

K  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  king.  It  is  silent  before  n  in 
in  the  same  syllable ;  as,  in  htiwe. 

L  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  lame,  mill.  It  is  silent  in  many 
Words,  especially  before  a  final  consonant ;  as,  in  walk,  mhn, 
calf,  should. 

M  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  man,  flame  It  is  silent  before 
n  in  the  same  syllable ;  as,  in  mnemonics, 

N  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  not,  sun_     It  is  silent  after 
and  m  ;  as,  in  kiln,  hymn,  solemn. 

P  has  one  sound 'only  ;  as,  in  pit,  lap.  At  the  beginning  of 
words,  it  is  silent  before  n,  s,  and  t ;  as,  in  pneumatics,  'psalm, 
pshaw,  ptarmigan. 

Q  has  precisely  the  power  of  k,  but  it  is  always  followed  by 
uy  and  tfease  two  letters  are  generally  sounded  like  lew  ;  as,  in 
question. 

R  is  sounded  as  in  rip,  trip,  form,  carol,  mire, 

3  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  send,  less;  or  the  sound  of  z,  aa 
in  rise.  Followed  by  i  preceding  a  vowel,  it  Unites  with  the 
vowel  in  forming  the  sound  of  sh ;  as  in  mission,  pronounced 
mish'un ; — or  of  its  vocal  correspondent  zh  ;  as  in  osier,  pro- 
nounced o'zher.  When  it  has  the  latter  sound,  it  is  indicated 
in  this  book  by  a  peculiar  mark  under  it ;  thus,  s. 

T  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  turn,  at  the  beginning  of  words 
and  at  the  end  of  syllables.  Before  i,  followed  by  another 
vowel,  it  unites  with  i  to  form  the  sound  of  sh,  as  in  nation, 
partial,  patience,  pronounced  na'shon,  par'shal,  pa'shense.  But 
when  s  or  x  precedes  t,  this  letter  and  the  i  following  it  pre- 
serve their  own  sounds ;  as  in  bastion,  christian,  mixtion,  pro-: 
nounced  bast'yun,  hrlst'yan,  mikst'yun.  T  is  silent  in  the  ter- 
mination^ ten  and  tie  after  s  ;  as  in  fasten,  often,  gristle. 

V  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  voice,  live,  and  is  never  silent. 

W  before  r  in  the  same  syllable  is  silent,  as  in  wring,  wrong. 
In  most  words  beginning  with  wh,  the  h  precedes  the  w  in  ut- 
terance ;  thus  when  is  pronounced  hicen.  But  if  o  follows  this 
combination,  the  w  is  silent,  as  in  whole,  pronounced  hole. 

X  represents  ks,  as  in  wax  ;  but  it  is  sometimes  pronounced 
'ike  gz;  as,  in  exact.  At  the  beginning  of  words,  it  is  pro- 
nounced like  z ;  as,  in  Xenophon. 

Z  has  its  p roper  sound,  which  is  that  of  the  vocal  s;  as,  in 
maze. 

Oh  have  very  nearly  the  sound  of  tsh  ;  as,  in  church :  or  the 
sound  of  k  ;  as,  in  character :  or  of  sh,  as  in  machine. 

Oh  are  mute  in  every  English  word,  both  in  the  middle  and 
at  the  end  of  words,  except  in  the  following :  cough,  chough, 
dough,  enough,  laugh,  rough,  slough,  tough,  trough,  in  which  they 
have  the  sound  of/;  hough,  lough,  shough,  in  which  they  have 
the  sound  of  1c  ;  and  hiccough,  in  which  they  have  the  sound  of 
"p.  At  the  beginning  of  a  word,  they  are  pronounced  like  g 
hard ;  as  in  ghastly,  ghost,  gherkin,  &c. ;  so  that  they  may  be 


SPELLING-BOOK.  13 


said  not  to  have  a  proper  or  regular  sound  in  any  English 
word. 

PTi  have  the  sound  of/,  as  in  philosophy  ;  except  in  Stephen, 
pronounced  Ste'vn. 

8h  have  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  shall. 

Th  have  two  sounds;  whispered,  as  in  think,  both;  and 
vocal,  as  in  thou,  Ms.  When  vocal,  the  th  are  marked  thus, 
(th),  as  in  fhou. 

Sc  have  the  sound  of  sfr,  before  a,  o,  u,  and  r ;  as,  in  scale, 
scoff,  sculpture,  scroll ;  and  the  sound  of  s  alone  before  e,  i,  and 
y ;  as,  in  scene,  scepter,  science,  Scythian, 

OP    ACCENT,    EMPHASIS,    AND    CADENCE, 

Accent  is  a  forcible  stress  or  effort  of  voice  on  a  letter  or 
syllable,  distinguishing  it  from  others  in  the  same  word,  by  a 
greater  distinctness  and  loudness  of  pronunciation. 

The  accented  syllable  of  words  is  designated  by  the  mark  ('). 

The  general  principle  by  which  accent  is  regulated,  is,  that 
the  stress  of  voice  falls  on  that  syllable  of  a  word,  which  ren- 
ders the  articulations  most  easy  to  the  speaker,  and  most  agree- 
able to  the  hearer.  By  this  rule  has  the  accent  of  most  words 
been  imperceptibly  established  by  a  long  and  universal  consent. 

When  a  "word  consists  of  three  or  more  syllables,  the  ease  of 
speaking  requires  usually  a  secondary  accent,  of  less  forcible 
utterance  than  the  primary,  but  clearly  distinguishable  from 
the  pronunciation  of  unaccented  syllables ;  as  in  superfluity, 


In  many  compound  words,  the  parts  of  which  are  important 
words  of  themselves,  there  is  very  little  distinction  of  accent , 
as,  ink-stand.,  church-yard, 

Emphasis  is  a  particular  force  of  utterance  given  to  a  par- 
ticular  word  in  a  sentence,  on  account  of  its  importance. 

Cadence  is  a  fall  or  modula^on  of  the  voice  in  reading  or 
speaking,  especially  at  the  end  of  a  sentence..

Legislation  is  the  enacting  of  laws,  and  a  legislator  is  one  who 
makes  laws. 

God  is  the  divine  legislator.  He  proclaimed  his  ten  command- 
ments from  mount  Sinai. 

In  free  governments  the  people  choose  their  legislators. 

We  have  legislators  for  each  State,  who  make  laws  for  the 
State  where  they  live.  The  town  in  which  they  meet  to 
legislate,  is  called  the  seat  of  government.  These  legisla- 
tors, when  they  are  assembled  to  make  laws,  are  called  the 
legislature. 

The  people  shoutd  choose  their  best  and  wisest  men  for  their 
legislators. 

It  is  the  duty  of  every  good  man  to  inspect  the  moral  conduct

of  the  man  who  is  offered  as  a  legislator  at  our  yearly  elec- 

!      tions.     If  the 

people  wish  for  good 

laws,  they  may  have 

them,  by  electing  good  men. 

The  legislative  councils  of  the  United  States  should  feel  their ; 

dependence  on 

l  the  will  of  a  free  and 

virtuous  people. 

Our  farmers,  mechanics  and  merchants, 

compose  the  strength 

of  our  nation. 

Let  them  be  wise  and  virtuous,  and  watch- ' 

ful  of  their  liberties.    Let  them  trust 

no  man  to  legislate  for 

them,  if  he  liy(

The  fixed  stars  are  at  immense  distances  from  us  :  they  are  so 
distant  that  we  can  not  measure  the  number  of  miles. 

When  fogs  and  vapors  rise  from  the  earth,  and  ascend  one  or 
two  miles  high,  they  come  to  a  cold  part  of  the  air.     The

cold  there  condenses  these  vapors  into  thick  clouds,  which 

fall  in  showers  of  rain. 
Noah  and  his  family  outlived  all  the  people  who  lived  before 

the  flood. 
The  brave  sailors  embark  on  board  of  ships,  and  sail  over  the 
•    great  and  deep  sea. 
The  time  will  soon  come  when  we  must  bid  a  last  farewell  to 

this  world. 
The  bright  stars  without  number  adorn  the  skies. 
When  our  friends  die,  they  will  never  return  to  us  ;  but  we 

must  soon  follow  them. 
God  will  forgive  those  who  repent  of  their  sins,  and  live  a 

holy  life. 
Thy  testimonies,  O  Lord,  are  very  sure ;  holiness  becometh 

thine  house  for  ever. 
Do  not  attempt  to  deceive  God ;  nor  to  mock  him  with  solemn 

words,  whilst  your  heart  is  set  to  do  evil. 
A  holy  life  will  disarm  death  of  its  sting. 
God  will  impart  grace  to  the  humble  penitent.

An  advocate  is  one  who  defends  the  cause  or  opinions  of  an- 
other, or  who  maintains  a  party  in  oj)position  to  another. 

Ardent  spirits  stimulate  the  system  for  a  time,  but  leave  it 
more  languid. 

Men  often  toil  all  their  lives  to  get  property,  which  their  chil- 
dren dissipate  and  waste. 

We  should  emulate  the  virtuous  actions  of  great  and  good" 
men. 

Moderate  passions  are  most  conducive  to  happiness,  and  mod* 
erate  gains  are  most  likely  to  be  durable. 

Abusive  words  irritate  the  passions,  but  a  "  soft  answer  turn- 
eth  away  wrath." 

Discontent  aggravates  the  evils  of  calamity. 

Violent  anger  makes  one  unhappy,  but  a  temperate  state  of  the 
mind  is  pleasant.

The  heathen  are  those  people  who  worship   idols,  or  who 
know  not  the  true  God. 

Those  who  enjoy  the  light  of  the  gospel,  and  neglect  to  ob- 
serve its  precepts,  are  more  criminal  than  the  heathen. 

All  mankind  are  brethren,  descendants  of  common  parents 
How  unnatural  and  wicked  it  is  to  make  war  on  our  breth- 
ren, to  conquer  them,  or  to  plunder  and  destroy  them.

Senate  originally  signified  a  council  of  elders ;  for  men,  before 
their  minds  were  perverted  and  corrupted,  committed  the 
public  concerns  to  men  of  age  and  experience.  The  maxim 
cf  wise  men  was — old  men  for  counsel,  young  men  for  war. 
But  in  modern  times  the  senatorial  dignity  is  not  always 
connected  with  age.

Experience  keeps  a  dear  school,  but  fools  will  learn  in.  no, 
other. 

Chyle  is  the  milky  fluid  separated  from  food  by  digestion,  and  ■ 
from  this  are  formed  blood  and  nutriment  for  the  support  of 
animal  life. 

An  epoch  is  a  fixed  point  of  time  from  which  years  are  reck- 
oned. The  departure  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt  is  a  re- 
markable epoch  in  their  history. 

A  patriarch  is  the  father  of  a  family.  Abraham  was  the  great 
patriarch  of  the  Israelites. 

Sound  striking  against  an  object  and  returned,  is  an  echo, 

The  stomach  is  the  great  laboratory  of  animal  bodies,  in  which 
food  is  digested  and  prepared  for  entering  the  proper  ves- 
sels, and  nourishing  the  body.  If  the  stomach  js  impaired 
and  does  not  perform  its  proper  functions,  the  whole  body 
suffers.

THE    SQUIRREL. 

The  squirrel  is  a  beautiful  little  animal.-  The  gray  and 
black  squirrels  live  in  the  forest  and  make  a  nest  of  leaves  and 
sticks  on  the  high  branches.     It  is  amusing  to  see  the  nimbi o

the  stem  of  a  tree,  and  dart  behind  it  to  escape  from  sight. 
Little  ground  squirrels  burrow  in  the  earth.     They  subsist  on

him  down  from  the  tree  with  grass  only. 

M  Well,  well,"  said  the  old  man,  "  if  neither  words  nor  grass

THE   COUNTRY  MAID   AND   HER  MILK-PAIL. 

"When  men  suffer  their  imagination  to  amuse  them  with 
the  prospect  of  distant  and  uncertain  improvements  of  their 
condition,  they  frequently  sustain  real  losses,  by  their  inatten- 
tion td  those  affairs  in  which  they  are  immediately  concerned, 

A  country  maid  was  walking  very  deliberately  with  a  pail 
of  milk  upon  her  head,  when  she  fell  into  the  following  train 
of  reflections :  "  The  money  for  which  I  shall  sell  this  milk,  will 
enable  me  to-  increase  my  stock  of  egg3  to  three  hundred. 
These  eggs,  allowing  for  what  may  prove  addle,  and  what 
may  be  destroyed  by  vermin,  will  produce  at  least  two  hun=

not  forbear  acting  with  her  head  what  thus  passed  in  her  im-

THE  TWO  DOGS, 

Hasty  and  inconsiderate  connections  are  generally  attended 
with  great  disadvantages ;  and  much  of  every  man's  good  or 
ill  fortune,  depends  upon  the  choice  he  makes  of  his  friends, 

A  good-natured  Spaniel  overtook  a  surly  Mastiff,  as  he  was 
traveling  upon  the  high  road.  Tray,  although  an  entire 
stranger  to  Tiger,  very  civilly  accosted  him ;  and  if  it  would 
be  no  interruption,  he  said,  he  should  be  glad  to  bear  him 
company  on  his  way.  Tiger,  who  happened  not  to  be  alto- 
gether in  so  growling  a  mood  as  usual,  accepted  the  proposal  j 
and  they  very  amicably  pursued  their  journey  together.  In 
the  midst  of  their  conversation,  they  arrived  at  the  next  vil- 
•  iage,  where  Tiger  began  to  display  his  malignant  disposition, 
by  an  unprovoked  attack  upon  every  dog  he  met.  The  vil- 
lagers immediately  sallied  forth  with  great  indignation  to  res- 
cue their  respective  favorites ;  and  falling  upon  our  two 
friends,  without  distinction  or  mercy,  poor  Tray  was  most 
cruelly  treated,  for  no  other  reason  but  his  being  found  in  bad 
company.

T1TE   PABTIAL  JUDGE. 

A  farmer  came  to  a  neighboring  lawyer,  expressing  great 
concern  for  an  accident  which  he  said  had  just  happened. 
"  One  of  your  oxen,"  continued  he,  "  has  been  gored  by  an  un- 
lucky bull  of  mine,  and  I  should  be  glad  to  know  how  I  am  to

the  lawyer,  "  and  wilt  not  think  it  unreasonable  that  I  expect 
one  of  thy  oxen  in  return."  "  It  is  no  more  than  justice,"  quoth 
the  farmer,  "  to  be  sure ;  but  what  did  I  say  ?— I  mistake — it  is 
your  bull  that  has  killed  one  of  my  oxen."  "  Indeed !"  says  the

THE   CAT   AND   THE   RA1. 

A  certain  cat  had  made  such  unmerciful  havoc  among  the 
vermin  of  her  neighborhood,  that  not  a  single  rat  or  mouse 
dared  venture  to  appear  abroad.  Puss  was  soon  convinced 
that  if  affairs  remained  in  their  present  state,  she  must  ere  long 
starve.  After  mature  deliberation,  therefore,  she  resolved  to 
have  recourse  to  stratagem.  For  this  purpose,  she  suspended 
herself  from  a  hook  with  her  head  downward,  pretending  to  be 
dead.  The  rats  and  mice,  as  they  peeped  from  their  holes,  ob- 
serving her  in  this  dangling  attitude,  concluded  she  was  hang- 
ing for  some  misdemeanor,  and  with  great  joy -immediately 
sallied  forth  in  quest  of  their  prey.  Puss,  as  soon  as  a  sufficient 
number  were  collected  together,  quitting  her  hold,  dropped 
into  the  midst  of  them ;  and  very  few  had  the  fortune  to  make

was  encouraged  to  try  the  event  of  a  second.  Accordingly, 
she  whitened  her  coat  all  over  by  rolling  herself  in  a  heap  of 
of  flour,  and  m  this  disguise  she  lay  concealed  in  the  bottom 
of  a  meal  tub.  This  stratagem  was  executed  in  general  with 
the  same  effect  as  the  former.  But  an  old  experienced  rat,  al- 
together as  cunning  as  his  adversary,  was  not  so  easily  insnared. 
"  I  don't  quite  like,"  said  he,  "  that  white  heap  yonder.  Some-

should  not  relish  quite  as  well.  There  can  be  no  harm  at  least 
in  keeping  at  a  proper  distance;  for  caution,  I  am  sure,  is  the

to  stir,  he  was  wounded  by  the  thorns  and  prickles  on  every

complain,  and  comforted  himself  with  reflecting  that  no  bliss 
is  perfect ;  that  good  and  evil  are  mixed,  and  flow  from  the

THE   BEAK   AND   THE   TWO  FRIENDS. 

Two  friends,  setting  out  together  upon  a  journey  which  led 
through  a  dangerous  forest,  mutually  promised  to  assist  each 
other,  if  they  should  happen  to  be  assaulted.  They  had  not 
proceeded  far,  before  they  perceived  a  bear  making  toward 
them  with  great  rage. 

There  were  no  hopes  in  flight ;  but  one  of  them,  being  very 
active,  sprang  up  into  a  tree ;  upon  which  the  other,  throwing 
himself  flat  on  the  ground,  held  his  breath  and  pretended  to 
be  dead;  remembering  to  have  heard  it  asserted  that  this 
creature  will  not  prey  upon  a  dead  carcass.  The  bear  came 
up  and  after  smelling  to  him  some  time,  left  him  and  went  on. 
When  he  was  fairly  out  of  sight  and  hearing,  the  hero  from 
the  tree  called  out, — Well,  my  friend,  what  said  the  bear  ? 
He  seemed  to  whisper  you  very  closely.  He  did  bo,  replied 
the  other,  and  gave  me  this  good  advice,  never  to  associate 
with  a  wretch,  who,  in  the  hour  of  danger,  will  desert  his  friend.

called  ?"  "  Sabbath  or  Sunday,  Monday,  Tuesday,  Wednesday, 
Thursday,  Friday,  Saturday."  The  Sabbath  is  a  day  of  rest,  and 
called  the  Lord's  day,  because  God  has  commanded  us  to  keep  it 
holy.  On  that  day  we  are  to  omit  labor  and  worldly  employ- 
ments, and  devote  the  time  to  religious  duties,  and  the  gaining 
of  religious  knowledge.

"  Twenty-four."  "  How  many  minutes  in  an  hour  ?"  "  Sixty." 
"  How  many  seconds  in  a  minute  ?"  "  Sixty."  Time  is  measured 
by  clocks  and  watches ;  or  by  dials  and  glasses. 

The  light  of  the  sun  makes  the  day,  and  the  shade  of  the

but  the  earth  turns  every  part  of  its  surface  to  the  sun  once 
in  twenty-four  hours.  The  day  is  for  labor,  and  the  night

The  name  oftlie  agent,  when  the  verb  admits  of  it,  is  formed  in  likcmanner, 
without  doubling  the  last  consonant,  as,  caviler,  worshiper,  duelist, 
libelor,  traveler.  So  also  adjectives  are  formed  from  these  verbs  without 
doubling  the  last  consonant,  as,  libelous,  marvelous. 

W7ien  verbs  end  in  e  after  d  and  t,  the  final  e  in  the  past  tense  and  parti- 
ciple of  the  perfect  tense,  unites  with  d  and  forms  an  additional  syllable, 
but  it  is  dropped  before  ing.    Thus,  abate,  abated,  abating. 

ab  di  cate     d    ing  de  grade 

ded  i  cate     d    ing  suf  fo  cate 

med  i  tate     d    ing  ed  u  cate 

im  pro  cate  d    ing  in  vade 

vin  di  cate    d    ing  con  cede 

In  verbs  ending  in  e  after  any  other  consonant  than  d  and  t,  the  past  tense 
is  formed  by  the  addition  of  d,  and  this  letter  with  the  final  o  may  form 
a  distinct  syllable;  but  usually  the  e  is  dropped  and  d  is  blended  with  the 
last  syllable  of  the  verb.  Thus  abridged,  is  pronounced  abridjd;  abased, 
abasto.     Before  ing,  e  is  dropped.

Note.    Although  ed  in  the  past  tense  and  participle  is  thus  blended  with  the 
last  syllable  oftlie  verb,  yet  when  a  noun  is  formed  by  adding  ness  to  such 
participles,  the  ed  becomes  a  distinct  syllable.    Thus  blessed  may  be  pro~ 
nounced  in  one  syllable ;  but  blessedness  must  be  in  three. 
Verbs  ending  in  ay,  07,  ow,  ew,  and  ey,  have  regular  derivatives 
in  ed  and  mg.

PUNCTUATION. 

Punctuation  is  the  division  of  a  composition  into  sentences  or  parts, 
of  a 'sentence  by  points,  to  mark  the  pauses  to  bo  observed  in  reading, 
and  show  the  connection  of  the  several  parts  or  clauses. 

The  comma  (, )  indicates  a  pause  of  the  length  of  a  monosyllable,  or 
the  time  of  pronouncing  one.  The  semicolon  ( ; )  iudicates  a  pause  of 
two  monosyllables;  a  colon  (: )  of  three;  a  period  (. )  four.  The  period 
is  placed  at  the  close  of  a  sentence.  [do  you  see  t 

The  interrogation  point  (?)  denotes  that  a  question  is  asked,  as,  what

An  exclamation  point  (!)  denotes  wonder,  astonishment,  or  other 
emotion,  cxpre.->-ed  by  the  foregoing  words. 

A  parenthesis  (  )  includes  words  not  necessary  in  the  sentence,  and 
which  are  to  be  uttered  in  a  lower  tone  of  voice. 

Brackets  or  hooks  [  ]  are  sometimes  used  for  nearly  the  same  purpose 
as  the  parenthesis,  or  to  include  some  explanation. 

A  dash  ( — )  denotes  a  sudden  stop,  or  a  change  of  subject,  and  re- 
quires a  pause,  but  of  no  definite  length.

The  index  (£§T°)  points  to  a  passage  which  is  to  beparticularly  noticed. 

The  paragraph  (  ^f  )  denotes  the  beginning  of  a  new  subject. 

The  star  or  asterisk  ( *  ),  the  dagger  ( f ),  and  other  marks,  (  %,  §,  \  ),

The  letters  «i  and  ie  occur  in  several  words  with  the  sail

ranged the  principal  words  of  these  classes  in  two  distinct

order  may  be  made  as  familiar  as  letters  of  the  alphabet.
